Capture to variable file

[JulianB-Dev]

Hello,
I would like my journal and meeting notes to be in separate files, so I created the following configuration

org_capture_templates   = {
  s = {
    description = 'Standup',
    template = '* Standup %<%d.%m.%Y> \n [....]',
    target = '[...]/standup/standup-%<%d.%m.%Y>.org'
  }
}

I then realized that target will not be parsed, so I monkey patched capture/init.lua:134ll to:

local fName = template.target
fName = self.templates:_compile_dates(fName)
fName = self.templates:_compile_expansions(fName)
fName = self.templates:_compile_expressions(fName)
fName = self.templates:_compile_prompts(fName)
local file = vim.fn.resolve(vim.fn.fnamemodify(fName or config.org_default_notes_file, ':p'))

I'm aware that starting a discussion for this is not the (final) way to go, but before I fork, change and pull request, I wanted to ask if the idea behind the change is acceptable for this project - I have NO idea how emacs orgmode would handle this (not using emacs).

(Additionally, I guess it would be better to refactor Template:compile, extracting the parts that would be redundant after above changes and instead call them from Template.compile and Capture:_get_refile_vars())

Would you welcome said change?

Hi,

I guess this makes perfect sense. Go ahead and make a PR once you have something and we can go from there.
